geez guys ..... this is a sci-fi setting we don't need to add more wheels or skids just cos the ones there look a lil small and fragile, we just use sci-spin.

"The wheels are made from pure fictionium, which every school kid knows is capable of taking the weight of a billion tons before even being strained, so worry not and enjoy a safe landing everytime*"

*Does not include all the times your being shot at with lazers, missles or space goats


See sorted,

Gal looks great!

[Figment]

I'd prefer they'd go with an Airbus 400M wheel set, because it fits the type of aircraft and the aesthetic heaviness of the aircraft better.

The size looks great. The landing gear looks horrible.

Make it bigger and more like this:

I like the fact that the Galaxy is getting larger to accurately portray its role in the field. However, the scale of the cockpit windshield and tires are just not adding up.

I click on START SERVER but nothing happens :,(

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not sure if it is the angle or what but it almost looks like the wings are folding back or something. My guess is that it is probably just the angle of the picture, but it's still an interesting question.

reminds me this

The Gal blew it's landing gear on that fossil and the only spare the pilot had was from a quad.

I think we probably need a few Nissan trucks to act as landing gear. That will probably do the trick.

I just noticed Higby has an image of himself on his desktop

Btw, think people aren't used to seeing a Galaxy that has landed, but still "floats" above the ground due to the shadows (normally directly under the unit if rendered in PS, here shadows are actually cast by a light source). Normally it almost seems as if a Galaxy rests on the ground with the belly due to their large mass and the short distance to the ground, where the ski sticks out at the front making a visual connection of the nose of the aircraft to the ground. Here though the wheel is tucked away under the belly more, which visually amplifies the distance between ground and nose and makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is.

Would still prefer a double wheel though.

There you go guys, the biggest of them all:




When I saw the Galaxy for the first time, this amazing aircraft came to my mind.

Crazy russians !

Just noticed the desktop file named "Planetside X Warfare R....."

Interesting considering that SOE registered the domains "planetsidex.com" and "planetsidewarfare.com"
